Default Ralph Savarese wins Top 16 race for a third time
Third time for Ralph and this one was the toughest. 2nd time shot he snaps the rear in his Corvette. Vic Gandhi steps up to share his car so Ralph can compete. I knew we were doomed.

He mowed his way through the field and defeated Eric Fischer in a very close final.

Thank you all who participated in the Top 16.

Next week, we start the quest for 2009!

Pics and videos later today, article to follow.

Good job Ralphie!

Congrats Ralph!

And congrats to all of our top 16 drivers! Every round was a tough one and I was just glad to make it to the finals

And Edgar, I like the idea of putting the ladder right in the thread!
